My husband James recently said to me, “We should drink some of that champagne down in the garage, it’s getting old!”. I’m embarrassed to admit some of the bottles down there I’ve had since London days but they’re extra special ones and I’ve been waiting for just the right occasion to celebrate. And this is what we often do in life. We save our celebrations for the really big occasions, we let the special moments or successes slip by or we forget to celebrate. Here’s the thing, you don’t need to have champagne to celebrate but you DO need to celebrate your successes often (ideally daily) to truly find joy and fulfilment in life. As a coach, I am very passionate about taking moments in life to acknowledge and celebrate where we are and what we have achieved. It is so easy to get onto the life treadmill and get so focused on the endpoint or goal that we forget to invite in the joy of the micro wins along the way. On the podcast today, we'll explore the transformative power of celebrating success and its profound benefits for your well-being. Join us as we dive into the joys of celebrating your wins, no matter their size. Discover how celebration increases pleasure and motivation by activating your brain's natural reward system. We'll uncover the role of dopamine, the neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward, and how it reinforces the behaviours that lead to success. Moreover, we'll explore how celebration boosts positivity, counterbalances daily negativity, and enhances your mental and emotional well-being. By shifting your focus to gratitude and celebration, you can rewire your brain and generate positive emotions. To wrap up, we'll provide practical ideas on infusing the celebration of your wins into your life. Consider recording your achievements, sharing them with loved ones, and creating meaningful rituals. These practices will help you fully embrace the power of celebration and transform your life. So tune in and prepare to be inspired and motivated as we uncover the incredible benefits of celebrating your wins and successes. Get ready to embark on a journey of joy, fulfilment, and happiness through the power of celebrating your wins. And remember, everything, including us, has an expiry date so don’t leave those champagne moments too long!

Beyond Comparison: 4 Powerful Questions for Growth
Want to experience greater growth and quality of life? Then look at the questions you ask yourself, especially when comparing to others. Theodore Roosevelt said, “Comparison is the theft of joy.” This is concerning, considering most of us spend hours scrolling and comparing our lives with the lives of others online, often unconsciously. How much joy is getting stolen? Without realising it, comparison imprints and leaves us with thoughts such as: ‘I’m am I not where I should be’ ‘Why am I not where they are’ ‘I’m not achieving enough’ ‘Why am I stuck’ The problem is these questions don’t move you forward; they keep you where you are. Today, in this short 11.11 min audio (how cool is that number), I share 4 powerful questions that move you out of comparison and not-enoughness and into growth and momentum.

Powerful Ways to Build Your Self Awareness Muscle
In the coaching/therapy space that I work in, self-awareness is often heralded to be the key to personal growth and fulfilment. Self-awareness researcher Tasha Eurich discovered that 95% of people believe they are self-aware, however, only 12–15% possess both high internal and external self-awareness (I spoke about Tasha Eurich’s archetypes previously). Eurich’s research suggests that there’s a profound opportunity within each of us to deepen our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. I believe self-awareness is the most powerful practice we can embody to discover true emotional freedom and deeper connections. Imagine for a moment that every external trigger, every challenge and every uncomfortable conversation could serve as a stepping stone towards greater self-awareness. As we peel back the layers of our consciousness, we not only enrich our own lives but also become catalysts for transformation in the lives of those around us. In today’s podcast I share Powerful Ways to Flex your Self Awareness Muscle, here are a few areas I will be discussing The power of brave conversations Why presence and mindfulness hold the key to our awareness Why feedback is your friend How working with a Coach or Therapist can expand your self-awareness Why journaling is a powerful tool for awareness (get my prompts) The role of empathy and compassion in building awareness As we embark on this journey of self-awareness, let us remember the words of Eckhart Tolle: “Awareness is the greatest agent for change”. May we courageously shine the light on the seen and unseen aspects of ourselves, paving the way for growth, healing, and transformation.

7 Transformative Practices for Achieving Your Goals and Intentions
For years, I eagerly engaged in the ritual of setting goals and intentions. There's something magical about envisioning a new future, filled with excitement and anticipation. Yet, despite my enthusiasm, I often found myself a year later with the same aspirations, not feeling like I had shifted the needle as much as I had wanted, and sometimes not at all. The truth is, most of us start with a burst of energy only to see our resolutions, goals or habits fade into the background by mid-January. It's a common tale—80% of people abandon their goals and intentions by then. For me, the turning point came when I embraced less obvious practices for manifesting and actioning my goals and dreams. As a seasoned coach deeply immersed in the world of goal-setting, I've unearthed powerful insights into what truly propels achievement and follow-through. In this episode, I'm unveiling 7 transformative practices to embed your goals and intentions with integrity so you can achieve greater results in the year ahead. From harnessing energy to silencing inner saboteurs, each strategy offers a new perspective on unlocking your full potential. Tune in and set yourself up for success this year.

The Art of Letting Go: Ceremonies for Release and Renewal
As the year draws to a close, it's a natural time for reflection. In this episode, we explore the art of letting go—a practice crucial for personal growth and evolution. Key Takeaways: Completion and Reflection: The end of the year prompts us to review and release what no longer serves us, be it beliefs, thoughts, or patterns. People often know what they want to let go of but are unsure of how to let go, in this episode I show you how. Five Powerful Letting Go Rituals: Burying: Ground the act of letting go by physically connecting with the earth. Burning: Use fire's transformative power to release what no longer serves you. Cleansing with Water: Symbolic immersion in water for purification and renewal. Journaling: Express emotions and thoughts on paper, a practice backed by research. Feeling It: Mindfully connect with emotions and sensations as a vital step in the letting go process. Movement: Engage in intentional movement to release stored energy and shift perspective. Closing Thoughts: Explore these rituals and find what resonates with you. Share your experiences and let me know which rituals work best in your letting go process.
